Is this for an automatic or manual? With a manual, you can unbolt the Vehicle Speed Sensor, it's a 3-pin plug on top of the manuals, and pour fresh MTF in that way. There's also a drain plug at the bottom that you use a 3/8 ratchet (with nothing on it but maybe an extension) to open.

For automatics you'll use the dipstick hole with a good long skinny funnel.

make sure if its a mans to use the higher fill plug or it'll be a waste if you try to fill it in the drain plug.

same thing just 3/8 ratchet no socket.

i tried the vss thing once and it kind of came apart? Theres a 17mm bolt in the side of the tranny above the fill plug a ways. I stick a hose in there and fill it that way, you have to be quick though to get the bolt back in

I broke mine first day I had the transmission, turns out those bolts do not like torque at all! Just a hand ratchet and SNAP, the base broke. Still mostly works, get a little fluctuation is all.
